Europa trial of RT vs ET for early stage breast cancer #SABCS24 #radonc www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
A reminder that when they examine the prostates of men who died of something else (heart attack, car accident), a HUGE percentage of men over 50 have prostate cancer and don't know even know it. We know there are a lot we don't need to treat at all. The problem is figuring out which ones.
Endocrine therapy was associated with a greater reduction in HRQOL, as measured by GHS, compared with radiotherapy at 24 months. While these interim results suggest radiotherapy might better preserve HRQOL in older women with low-risk early breast cancer, further data on disease control outcomes and final patient accrual are needed to draw definitive conclusions.
The time relegated to being data clerks among US physicians is increasing

New: The largest medical A.I. randomized controlled trial yet performed, enrolling >100,000 women undergoing mammography screening
The use of AI led to 29% higher detection of cancer, no increase of false positives, and reduced workload compared with radiologists w/o AI thelancet.com/journals/lan...
This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all.

BIG 2-04 SUPREMO: postmastectomy #radiation in int risk #breastcancer did not improve 10y overall survival, incl for node + subset. Stat sig but small ⬇️ in chest wall recurrence (2.5% -> 1.1% abs risk, NNT 63 to prevent 1 CW recurrence)

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

This cohort study uses national electronic health record data to assess patient medical advice request message volume and the time physicians spend in the records.
Great to present this secondary analysis of a prospective randomized trial at SABCS demonstrating decreased acute toxicity with VMAT vs 3D-CRT technique for patients with breast cancer receiving PMRT/RNI! An important treatment option for our patients! @mdanderson.bsky.social @sabcs.bsky.social

The findings suggest that AI contributes to the early detection of clinically relevant
breast cancer and reduces screen-reading workload without increasing false positives.
VMAT based regional nodal radiotherapy for breast cancer improved short term toxicity over 3D (retro review of a prospective trial) when IMC targeted. Longer follow up pending @mdanderson.bsky.social @chelaing.bsky.social #SABCS24
